I wasn't at all sure what it was, so I asked around, and the consensus among the staff at the park are that this is an American Badger! I sure wish I had got a great picture, instead of this.
I also had been seeing some really beautiful grey, black and white birds, but couldn't get a good enough long look at them. I was running my dogs with the car last evening, and one of these beautiful birds was perched in a bush, so I stopped the car and got the camera out and got a couple of good shots of this bird, before I had to move on (traffic).

The beauty in nature is so healing to the soul!
That's so funny - who would have thought you would see an American Badger? It never would have entered my mind.
ReplyDeleteGreat catch of the Black throated sparrow, they have such beautiful markings. :)
Any more owl sightings?
So cool!
ReplyDeleteCapturing wildlife with a camera is a talent that I admire! I don't usually get very lucky.
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people don't like sparrows but I for one think they are darling. We have the little chipping sparrows here and they just crack me up so tame and little. And their markings are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteA badger wow who would have ever guessed that!
